UK Coaching: Safeguarding and Protecting Children

Tue, 3rd Dec 2024 (18:00 - 21:00)

Every child deserves to enjoy playing sport and engage in physical activity in a safe and supportive environment, where they feel heard, understood, and valued.
This interactive classroom based workshop will help you recognise and respond to concerns a child may be experiencing, or be at risk of experiencing, harm, neglect, or abuse.
You will learn the importance of person-centred care and taking an individualised approach to your coaching practice, that puts the child or young person at the heart of every session.
